Barcelona is hosting the 50th meeting of the Administrative Workshop on 6 and 7 October. Organised by CENTR, the European association of top-level domain registries, the meeting provides a platform for debate on political matters which affect country code top-level domains (ccTLD) and acts as a communication channel for internet governance bodies and other internet organisations.
This is the third time the CENTR has chosen Barcelona to host one of its meetings, on this occasion the first face-to-face meeting to be held since the start of the pandemic. Fundació .cat, which manages .cat and .barcelona domains, will be the host organisation for this CENTR meeting.
During the 50th CENTR Administrative Workshop, organisations responsible for various domains all around Europe will be exploring various topics such as abuse relating to DNS domains and the creation of new products to add value to domains, as well as an assessment of new projects to integrate and improve the relationship with registration companies. On this occasion, Tucows and Openprovider are to be the guest registration companies, to learn about their perspective and share their experiences.
